Early Reviews are In!!!

Arrol Sean Flynn - As a card carrying fan of Cody Lee Songs and frequent listener to said album, allow me to say congratulations on another fine piece of musical wonder. I urge everyone to check it out.

Lon Rozelle - Bout time, my friend. Great rekkid.

Ryan Carlson - Another beaut, Cody! Glad we had a chance to chat about it awhile back. 😎👍

Binky Philips - Way way back when we were all playing Max's and CBGB hoping for the A&R gods to show up, one of the best bands that, like The Planets, came this close to the mythical record deal more than once, was Falcon Eddy led by my friend, Cody Lee. Like me, he simply never stopped making music regardless. True to form, he's just released his what? 4th album under the lovely name, Johnny & The Whatnots. The name is silly fun, the music is not. These are sophisticated songs, musically, lyrically, sonically. The vocals are hushed and pull you in. The lyrics are serious and seriously good. Cody has lived life and it shows in his music. Real heartache. Quiet but defiant angst. Wit. Lots of 12-string ear ambrosia. While Cody's influences are fully integrated, I hear Tom Petty, Pete Townshend, Elton, Bruce, Roger Waters, Beatles, Tom Waits, Richard Thompson, and a singer I can't place. The album also features a killer emotive version of the Velvets "All Tomorrow's Parties" arranged to give you the same wistfulness as "Hand Bags And Glad Rags" by Rod the Mod. Okay, enough from me. Here's the link to Cody's wonderful songwriting and performing. So there!

My New Guilty Pleasure have rerecorded their song "SHine".

Not really sure about a lot of things, but I will promise that every word on this site is the God's honest truth. For better or worse.
